The figure on the left is a seated statue with a smooth painted face, an orange head wrap with a red bindi, a brown rudraksha mala, and white and red flower garlands, raising its right hand in blessing.

A white statue of a seated sage in orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, raises one hand in blessing against a white wall. The statue sits on a white pedestal strewn with red rose petals, with a second small pedestal holding a purple cloth, a red draped cloth and a garland. Brass puja vessels, a brass lamp, a tray of rose petals and incense sticks sit in front. A seated man in a white shirt and dark trousers watches at the right edge beside white railings with red flowers. The orange turban and mala on the statue are a depiction, not a living person.

A white marble statue of a seated sage in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, with a red-brown rudraksha mala and a red tilak on the forehead, raises one palm in blessing. Behind it, a deity murti is dressed in a maroon garment with heavy gold and jewelled necklaces and ornaments, framed by pink and yellow marigold garlands. Brass oil lamps and a brass bowl sit on a white pedestal in front, with a small white ceremonial object beside them. No living people are visible. The statue is a depiction, and the a person label remains unsure because the figure is a statue with no clear appearance-based cues beyond ordinary ritual dress.
